Manufacturer info on PO without materials

Is there a way to force the population of certain fields without actually using material masters or info records?
Our users create shopping carts in SRM. For any catalog orders, we are bringing back the manufacturer name, number, and UNSPSC (provided by the vendors) and populating the appropriate fields on the purchase requisition in SAP. However, when the PO is created, these fields are not populated because we are not using material masters/info records.
We would like to be able to populate the PO the same way as the requisition. If that is possible, please let me know how we can go about doing this. Would it be through a particular BADI?
Monique Stephens

Hi,
I would try one of the following BAdIs:
ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST (try methods "PROCESS...")
Or
ME_BAPI_PO_CUST
Maybe it helps.

Production order settlement without materials

Hi Gurus,
I have a question that I am unable to find any solution :
We create a production order without materials using CO07 and everything is ok except that the cost is now sitting in cost element. Although the settlement parameter of the order goes to cost center, finance wants it to expense off to another GL account automatically. Status of prod order is REL PRC NMAT SETC. Settlement rule is created with cost center as one of the settlement receiver.
I went to t-code OBYC and found the PRD - General Modifications PRF pointing to the GL account I wanted.
I went to t-code FS00 (edit G/L account centrally) edit cost element, default acct assignment and was tempted to update the cost center to default the GL account to the cost center but was unsure what is the impact.
Is there anything else that i am missing here ?
Any help with t-codes guidance will be greatly appreciated

In OK07 select the settlement profile, change default object type to CTR. So the settlement receiver will be cost center.
Who is the receiver you can check in production order itself.

Procurement without Materials Master Records

Hi All,
Kindly guide me with the following issue.
I have created a PO for Consumable Material (Without Materials Master Record).Have given the Cost Center as Acc.Assignment too. However while doing Goods receipt It gives an error stating
"Quantity could not be converted from "2 to "
Here "2 is is the Unit created by me i.e. Square Inche.
I checked all the settings related to "2 but cud not resolved the issue.
It does not mention anything related to "From & To" Relationship of OUNs.
Pls guide.
Thnx & Rgrds,
Sandeep

Hi Santosh it Seems that the Unit of mesurement which you defined as 2 is not properly maintained as it is recomended not to define your own units of measurements as they are under some patern like ISO standards and they are having some conversion factors also. So check it again .

Hard Drive Manufacturer info

How do I find out the hard drive manufacturer of my macbook pro without opening the unit?

Which does not list the manufacturer as the OP desires. (At least, it doesn't in Tiger - perhaps the newer cat is more informative.)
But, you can copy the model number and paste it into a Google search, and that will identify the manufacturer.
Hope this helps...

How do I get ALL the info records for a materials plants using an SAP FM?

I need to get all of the info records from the EINE table for a material - all of its sites (plants, we are using SAP retail).
The problem is this: I call the FM MD_INFORECORDS_READ - here is the code for my call:
CALL FUNCTION 'MD_INFORECORDS_READ'
          EXPORTING
            imatnr               = t_output_data-article <-- the material number
            iliefnr              = lv_eina_key < -- see below on how I get this
          importing
            eeine                =
          TABLES
            exp_eina             = it_eina
            exp_eine             = it_eine
          EXCEPTIONS
            no_eina_record_found = 2
            no_eine_record_found = 3.
lv_eina_key is taken from this call:
SELECT SINGLE altkn INTO lv_vendor_no
        FROM lfb1
        WHERE lifnr = lv_site (plant)
        AND bukrs = t_output_data-company_code.
The probelm is it only returns the first record it finds for each site. There could be multiple info records, each one based a a different Valid From date for each site. I need either ALL of the EINE records for each site OR the most current one
I know I am not using ALl of the parms in the FM - but are there maybe there are other ones should I be using.
Perhaps there is there another FM I should be using - cause I do not have the info record number to pass.
Thanks.
Scott

Never mind - the FM does work - this was bad data.

What's the best way to wipe user info on OSX without doing a clean install of the OS

Hello,
I am going to give my old imac to my nephew so I want to delete myself as an Administrator and user (ie, remove all traces of my personal info). However I DO NOT want to delete all the installed applications I have installed over the years as they are useful to him.
Should I just set up a new admin and delete mine or are there other things I can/should do to 'clean out' myself from the system? (preferences, etc.)
Thank you!

chungster wrote:
Will deleting my admin account delete all my saved passwords in the keychain?
Yes
How about my old emails? In addition to Mail, I used to use Thunderbird. Are there any special places that I need to delete files from for those apps?
Yes old emails are gone. No special places for Thunderbird, emails are kept in the User account folder.
And finally, if he wants to keep my itunes music, can i just drag my itunes folder into his account prior to deleting my account?
This is a copyright violation in most cases unless the music is free of that or the license allows it.
You should deauthorize the iTunes account in the User accounts being deleted, copy protected iTMS content won't play on his account. iTMS music is not copy protected but there is a 5 machine/device limit.
You can transfer music and other files to his account through the Finder > Computer > Macintosh HD > Users > His account > Public > Dropbox that will change the user permissions on the files.
Any iTMS purchased content is digitally signed with your personal information embedded into the files themselves.
If your nephew goes and P2P's your files, you could be held liable for copyright infringement.
If the music files are cd rips, then there is a good chance they are not digitally signed, however Apple might have done something to the files in the background to assist the RIAA against piracy.
There is a 5 device limit to iTMS content, so technically since he's family you can control that and it's included in the iTMS content license, but that doesn't apply to cd rips.
He might not like your music anyway and then seek to share it to get more he does like. So it depends upon the skill level of your nephew if he will do that or not.
Set up his account on the machine, maintain dual accounts until it's all set up, then log into his and delete your account.
Copy protected apps with one machine licenses that "phone home" you will have to either delete or buy another license for the new machine if it's a Mac.

Where can i find info of clients without logging in.

Hai all,
My problem is that i have all the info of a system like server_SID_SysNo but i dont have the client no where can i find the created/existing clients in the SAP System.
One could say that logon to default client 000 and chk in SCC4 thats fyn, what if i dont have a user in 000 so is there a way to chk in filesystem level with out logging on to the system.
Thanks rajeshwar.

You can use SAP* to login into any client even if you don't have any user id present.
by using a password 19920706 or PASS..
If that doesn't work, you can login at oracle level and do a select * from t000.sapr3;

Multiple Material Numbers to use one Info Record

I have several material numbers that I have recently set up as Subcontracting special procurement. All of these numbers use one quote from our vendor. How do I assign multiple numbers to a single info record?
Thanks for your assistance!!

SAP knows 2 kind of subcontracting scenarios, a purchasing route and a production route.
in the purchasing subcontract scenario you order the finished material with item category L, you can see the components in the purchase order and you consume the components when you post the goods receipt to this purchase order.
in the production route, you create production orders to "manufacture" the finished and to consume the components, the purchase order is only to procure the service. you do goods receipt and cosumption in reference to the production order, and you do a goods receipt for the service in reference to the purchase order.
if the info record is without material number,then you cannot have a permanent link to a material if you use the purchasing route.
Usually SAP will propose the info record as source when you assign and process requisitions in ME57. I doupt that SAP will propose info records without material number for requisition with material number. so the only chance to assign such info record to a PO to get the price defaulted would be manual entry of info record number in ME21N (F4 search help is available)
in the production subcontracting process you can enter the info record number in the recipe, so you can establish a permanent link in master data. So SAP exactly knows which info record price to pull for the service orders. and in this process you can enter one info record number in several recipes.

Info Records Per Material Group Standard Report Not Running at All.

Hi Experts,
We had a Small problem Where while Running Info Records Per Material Group(T-code ME1W ) Standard Report the Report is not Showing any output in PRD, where else running Info Records Per Material (T-Code ME1M ) Standard Report the Output is getting Displayed.
Our System is Currently SAP EEC 6.0 & Application Package SAP_APPL is of release 604 & Level 0007, Highest Support Package is SAPKH60407.
is this Issue covered in Some OSS Note?
Thanks & Regards
Priyesh Shah

Hi,
The info-records for the materials which appears in the standard report ME1M/ME1L is different from the one which appear in ME1W.
If you try with the material groups of the ME1L or ME1M info-records it wont be displayed in ME1W.
ME1W will display only the info-records which are created @ material group level.
i.e. try to create a new info-record using ME11 without entering material, in the general data screen you have to enter the material group & other parameters.
Now once you save this info-record,same will appear in ME1W.
Hope its clear.
Thanks & Regards,

Mapping Manufacturer in to Vendor Master

Hi
Per our clients' new audit requirements, we need to be able to link current raw materials by plant to the manufacuturer and manufacturer's location. In some cases, Client procures from a broker and there is no visibility of the manufacturer within SAP.
We need to assess current vendor master/Procurement structure to see if it is possible to get this link within SAP and still buy via a broker.
Thanks

Implement the MPN fucntinality.
Define manufacturer part profile
Manufacturer part profiles (MPN profiles) allow you to specify for each of your firms own materials the conditions under which the MPN material may be used in the procurement process.
Using the MPN profile, you can determine the following, for example:
Whether the MPN material has to be entered in the purchase order.
Whether purchasing info records are created for the firms own material or for the MPN materials.
Whether the PO text for the firmu2019s own material or the one for the MPN material is used.
Whether the MPN material may be changed during the procurement process.
Whether the system is to check the approved manufacturer parts list when an MPN material is entered.
You define the MPN profiles in Customizing for Purchasing under Material Master.
You enter the MPN profile in the master record for your firms own material (Purchasing view).
Create master records for manufacturers and manufacturer plants
If, during the process of procuring materials, you wish to have the option of choosing between several manufacturers of a material, or between several of a certain manufacturers plants, you must create separate master records for such manufacturers and for the relevant plants belonging to the latter.
The number of master records you will need to create for manufacturers, manufacturer plants, and vendors, depends on
Whether the vendor is also the manufacturer
Which of the plants belonging to a certain manufacturer you wish to procure materials from
Vendor is not the manufacturer
If the manufacturer is not a vendor (end supplier), you can store the manufacturer data in a manufacturer master record with a minimum of data entry effort. You then assign the account group MNFR to this manufacturer master record. If you wish to store an external ID for the manufacturer, enter it in the control data (External manufacturer field). This identification will appear in the purchase order.
Vendor is also the manufacturer
If the vendor is simultaneously the manufacturer, you can work with vendor master records. You must then ensure that a partner schema that takes the partner role HS into consideration is assigned to the account group of the vendor master record. (In Customizing for Purchasing under Partner Determination ® Partner Settings in Vendor Master Record ® Assign Partner Schemas to Account Groups). The manufacturer plants must then have the partner role HS in the vendor master record.
You wish to procure materials from certain specific manufacturer plants
If the manufacturer has several Manufacturer Plants, you can create a separate manufacturer master record with the account group MNFR for each of them. The manufacturer plants must have the partner role HS (manufacturer plant) in the manufacturer (vendor) master record.

Changeover Cost, Time and Materials

What is the best method for capturing changeover costs in a discreet manufacturing setting where production orders are used? Depending on the sequence of products being produced cleanout times and the quantity of cleaning agent used can vary. This has an impact on planning and profitability, and should be accurately captured.
Is it best to create multiple routings one with and on without changeover time?
Also, to capture the amt. of cleaning agent used, is it best to put that directly on the BOM? The issue is that we don't know how much cleaning agent is used until after we have already posted production. Is there a way to go back into the production order after posting production on the finished good and consume more material?

Hi,
Create production order without materials in transaction CO07.
You can use reference operations sets for this. You can assign the components in the order directly. Create reference operation sets and call on the operation in the production order wo material.
This cost can be captured on a cost center and distributed as per the requirement.
thanks and regards

Multiple Consigned Info-record Based on MPN

Hi All,
We have an MPN Profile that has a setting of - MPN Mandatory & Info Records for MPN. This MPN Profile is assigned into an Internal Material which will be managed with our Inventory.
We have multiple MPNs from a Single Vendor with different price and that is created separately in the Info-Record.
When the PO is created with the MPN, it is working fine by selecting the Internal Material and I am able to do GR for that PO which comes in Stock as Internal Material.
However, my problem is that I am not able to create a K-Type PO for those MPN, as system prompts error messages like MPN008 => "Consignment and MPN mat. only possible in case of info recs. for IM mat."
I have gone through the SAP Help and it is also mentioned as a NOTE in there : If you are working with consignment info records, you must create the info records for your firms own material. Reason: in the case of goods issues involving consignment materials, the system searches for the info records for the firms own, inventory-managed materials and does not take MPN materials into account.
I have a question now => Does SAP allow the Consigned Process to be practiced for MPN Materials?
Any suggestion/idea/solution is most welcome!
Regards,

Hi Rahul,
Thanks again for your reply!
I did the way you suggested and I was able to create Consigned POs for the MPN. However, my problem is still un-resolved, as you can see the problem from the following process steps.
1) GR for the Consigned PO is done and now the IM Material is in the Vendor Consigned Stock.
2) I have pulled the Quantity via Tcode MB1B/411-K.
3) When I run the MRKO (Vendor Liability Settlement), system took the Consigned Info-record of the IM Material (which is only 1).
_Problem:_ System while doing MRKO, is not considering the MPN Inforecord, as I am not able to create Consign Info Record for MPN Materials.
If you are not clear about my scenario, I can explain in detail.
Regards,

Accounting of POP (advertise) materials

Dear All,
We are purchasing advertising materials from outside vendors at manufacturing plant and
sending these materials to sales offie and then these material are being delivered to the
customers as free of cost.Right now only purchase activity has been captured in SAP but now
clent requirement is that we have to distrbute the cost of these advertising material based
on sales office wise.Plz suggest what is the better way to map this scenario in SAP.
regards,
SPS.

Hi,
1. Treat POP material as Non valuated ( UNBW)
2. Make PO with account assignment category and suitable GL account
3. At the time of GR , material cost will be posted to the GL ( say marketing expenses)
4. Qty will be maintained in Storage location
5. At the time of Billing , add this item as free of cost item and sent to customer

Someone please help me Design the database of bill of materials

I want to design the database of bill of materials which contain item and amount.
So the amount of child will depend on amount of parent in term of ratio. For example
A(1) A(2)
| ----> |
B(2) B(4)
My problem is when i try to add the parent and child . Let A is the parent of B , If i try to add A to be the child of C
I want B to come along with A as well. For example
A C
| C ---> | For this I have to store the relation of all item in my list to check that this item have a child or not if yes
B A The child must come along with its parent , What the Er-diagram
should be for all of my requirement?
|
B

>I want B to come along with A as well. For example
You can do that, but that is not automatic. You need to do some programming.
It is better to use hierarchyid representation of the tree over traditional FK referencing.
Tree using hierarchyid example:
http://www.sqlusa.com/bestpractices2008/orgchart/
BOL: "Model Your Data Hierarchies With SQL Server 2008
.....The manufacturing system behind automobiles; the organization of a country into states, counties, cities, and postal codes; the description of a home entertainment system—what do these things have in common? The simple answer is that each
describes a hierarchy.
SQL Server 2008 supports a new data type, HierarchyID, that helps solve some of the problems in modeling and querying hierarchical information. I will introduce you to this data type by discussing a pattern commonly used in manufacturing
known as bill of materials (BOM), or bills. Starting with a brief discussion of BOMs, I will illustrate how this kind of data can be modeled. I will also present an implementation of this model in SQL Server 2005. Then I will show you how the HierarchyID data
type can be used to implement the model in SQL Server 2008.
Hierarchical Data
Automobiles are amalgamations of many components, such as engines, drivetrains, electronics, and steering. In the United States, our geographic territories are divided into states and are then sub-divided into jurisdictions called counties.
Counties are then further subdivided in different ways by different agencies. The United States Census Bureau, for example, composes them from Census Tract Areas. The U.S. Postal Service routes mail delivery by Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP) codes. Geographic
information systems (GIS) may aggregate census tracts and ZIP codes together to provide users with a familiar spatial reference for an area.
A recent trip to a local electronics store to evaluate a replacement home entertainment system pointed to a similar sort of hierarchical system—all the combinations of possible components and options left my head spinning! I wondered
how such systems could be modeled and implemented in a database system.
The relationship between an automobile and its engine represents a hierarchy: the automobile contains the engine. The relationship is the same for the drivetrain, the electronics, and the steering. The relationship is containment. A
similar hierarchy can be observed in the relationship between the different groupings of geographic or census data.
Hierarchies exist everywhere, yet implementing them in the context of a relational database frequently proves to be a challenge. A typical approach is to represent the hierarchy using a parent/child relationship with one or more tables.
While this approach certainly works in many cases, it has a few shortcomings. Such solutions must carefully consider how the referential integrity will be maintained. And while querying the depth and breadth of such tables was considerably simplified in SQL
Server 2005 with the introduction of recursive common table expressions, writing queries against these types of tables can still be problematic when joins against many tables are required.
A Bill of Materials Problem
A few years ago I was working on a system being developed by a manufacturing company to help their dealers specify the components needed to build center-pivot irrigation systems. The software produced a list of components needed to custom-build
the desired pivot (the totality of a center-pivot irrigation system is simply referred to as a pivot within the industry). The required components were determined based on geography, soil type, and the intended crops planted in the areas to be covered as well
as the hydrologic and structural considerations of the device itself.
Underpinning the solution would be a SQL Server database. The purpose of the database was to store information about the components available to build the pivot. However, when we generated the specification for manufacturing, we needed
to identify those components as BOMs.
Some bills represented a collection of physical parts that would be assembled into a system component. For example, every pivot needed a pump to draw water from a well into the system. That pump might be electrically powered, meaning
it needed a transformer and fuse box, too. Or the pump might be fuel powered, meaning it needed a tank, a fuel pump, and hoses to connect the pump to the tank. In either case, the required parts for the pump would be listed in a pump bill.
The bill for a complete pivot would include a collection of other bills. For example, a standardized pivot might consist of a tree of bills for the pump, another tree of bills for the spans of pipe used to deliver water, and bills for any other equipment
needed to build that pivot system."
